You see the event announcement, and you think to yourself, "Flights, Accomodation, Time out of the business, Time away from your family... is this conference really worth it?"

In this episode (recorded live in the vendor hall of the FAAA Congress 2025) Jordan and Nathan are joined by Glen James (Podcaster Extraordinaire, now Youtuber) to discuss

• How the gold Glen got from conferences helped set up Glens business for success
• Why your mind set, and 'leaning in' is the key to get the most out
• How is always something to be learned, but the key is in taking action on those matters afterwards
• Why businesses that invest in getting their junior and admin staff to conferences (not just leadership and advisers) will get enormous ROI and retention benefits that far outweight any cost. 
• Why eating gelato while recording a pod isn't ideal, but it's still more professional than Jordan and I stuffing about at the start of the episode. 

Guest Cameo from the newly appointed FAAA Board member Ben Marshan
